AWARDS:
Silver Thinker = for eight correct answers - @MI5
Bronze Thinker +
= for seven correct answers - @Cleoriff
Bronze Thinker + + half
= for six correct answers + one part correct - @gmarkj
Bronze Thinker = for six correct answers - @pgn

= for two correct answers - @LukasB

CONGRATULATIONS to the Silver Thinker - @MI5
and Well Done everyone. All those taking part were awarded at least one
I hope everyone will take part in today`s WRQ which will be posted on a separate thread about 9.15am
with two questions on each of these categories
MUSIC GEOGRAPHY MOVIES
and two "odd" questions - one on MONEY; one on SAYINGS
SPECIAL MENTION must be made of @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj @WispaRed7
who each gave the correct answer to
Q5 [HISTORY - 2] In history, what item of clothing was a mandillian ?
Each of you have beaten Kevin Ashman, Egghead and one of the top quizzers in the world,
who was asked the question on Eggheads. Unlike the WRQ, Kevin had a choice of three answers -
cap jacket shoes - and gave the answer "cap" which was wrong.
You should all be proud of yourselves and perhaps mention this to family and friends at home, or out for a meal, in the supermarket, or down the pub.

Great Quiz @Mi-Amigo thanks for your hard work in setting it up.
Congrats everyone
Not sure about Eggheads as that's the one quiz I won't watch. I can't stand any of the arrogant 'eggheads! Is that Daphne still there? Obnoxious woman!

Thank you @Cleoriff .
I`m pleased you enjoyed the quiz and I did like putting this one together - especially the "Eggheads" question, which I`ve been waiting to use for some time. As for Daphne of Eggheads - she is no longer with us, she has passed away.
Thanks @LukasB
I just know you are gonna so love [or hate] one of today`s questions
Thanks @MI5
and well done on being the only Silver Thinker this time
